Seattle Wireless TV Releases June 2004 Show

drewzhrodague writes "Seattle Wireless TV just released their June 2004 Show, containing a segment by (me) Drew from WiFiMaps, called 'Booze and Wi-Fi,' which is an interview with Doug Luce from Telarama (the world's third ISP). Doug talks about their successful ultra-low-cost hotspot setup, and shows us how they are being deployed. Also, Jason Levitt of Less Networks presents 'How Less Networks and Austin City Wireless Project beat T-Mobile,' a presentation on why every day should be a free Wi-Fi day, how a $100 press release with a good message is worth more than a million-dollar ad campaign, and about their AP/captive-portal setup. Check it out for Realplayer, Windows Media, or MPEG torrent."

Re:Anyone else concerned about...

The spread of pay phones and possible security breaches by terminal criminals? Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have easy access to calling people on my coffee break. But what is to prevent a person from using a pay phone, which probably isn't as closely monitored (user by user), to avoid restrictions/restraints on their personal dialing? It seems like until we have methods for identifying criminals on a pay phone, and locking down security, public access is extended to even those who would abuse it.

Is there anyone 2 year old who is better versed on this matter who can enlighten my dumb ass as to security procedures in these "pay phones" that the article praises?

Content is the key

Wireless media distribution is great, but even harder to search and find what you're looking for than text. If anyone can broadcast, the people who co-operate to create something creative and engaging will come out on top. If you create something worth seeing, it ought to make it onto a conventional TV network, though they seem to have lost the concept of "worth seeing."
